This week Ben and Barry take on one of the big three scientific disciplines: chemistry. Accompanied by Dr Kit Chapman, they artfully sidestep the really dark stuff to discover stories of the German who cached gallons of his own urine in the search for phosphorus, Robert Boyle's Buzzfeed article and why you shouldn't let Dmitri Mendeleev anywhere near your wife.
